- Welcome to a special CRT Market Watch episode. A program completely dedicated to talking about the Cathode Ray Tube sales market. Today I will be taking a closer look at a unique CRT that is for sale/sold. That is the Sony BVM D32E1WU Broadcast Professional CRT Monitor. This is the rarest and most sought after CRT left in the entire world and this sale should break a new record for single CRT sales on eBay in the United States. Retro Tech is the best place to discuss CRT Sales and Repairs.

Everyone on my Discord was watching this unfold. I actually messaged the seller before any bids had been made and warned them about how terrible their photos were, as well as gave instructions on how to change their camera settings to capture photos without waves and distortion of the screen. A few hours later the photos were updated and the first major bid came in. Can't believe it sold for 7 grand.
You are a saint for helping the seller out with pics. That sounds fun I wanna join the discord :)
@@thegameboyboy3444 He never replied to me after changing the pics. I think he owes me a commission! haha. I'd totally invite you to the Discord but its for local residents of the California Bay Area (for buy/sell/trade purposes)
@@treminaorugx hell yah he owes you a commission! Lol
I had one of these in my edit suite when I worked at post facility back in the early 2000s. It was hands down the BEST picture I had ever seen on a CRT. I used to be mesmerized by it daily. IIRC the owner of the post house paid approximately $30,000 for the monitor new from Sony.
Looking at how inflated the market is I’m so glad that I got my 2 for 40$ odd bucks a couple years ago. Amazing video as always and keep up the good work!
People out here "paying" over 7 grand for a D32 and I'm still trying to upgrade to a 14M4U for less than $500
These past few days have been incredible! So many PVMs and BVMs showing up in the wild, and many of them for great prices!
Oh, and Brutus is adorable! You can tell he's hyped. :D
Lol, yeah he's so relaxed that sometimes I have to wake him up for recording because he snores so loud.
Would love to know more about the tests that savonpat runs on the PSU etc that you mentioned in this video!
Yeah, I want to show that off in some upcoming stuff/repair vids
20,000 hours is mint? Hmmm
Glad I have my D32E1WU
I did hear from my D24 seller that the D32' tubes would go bad very early on and would of been replaced kind of like a recall
I still remember the first time I saw an NEC XM29 go for $1000 and how I thought that price was insane.
Was that the time that reseller (spiderwaffle?) had like 10 of them and was asking $1000 a piece? At the time it seemed incredible to spend that kind money. It's down right amazing how the last couple years changed that perspective.
Does anyone know what the last couple bvm d24s have sold for? I have one with low hours that Im gonna sell.
I've noticed, that BKM-24D does not work with a light gun with composite NTSC. Is it a monitor or extension board-specific?
WOW! Sometimes I wish I should've save some of those BVM's off the streets years ago Steve. I could've made a fortune. 8^)
Anthony..
Hello Anthony. I know what you mean. Prices are high for the really hard to find Pro CRTs.
Ebay used to charge 5% commission, for many many years. Then they bumped it to 8% then 10%. Pure greed.
10%? Wow..
I hope that bvm lasts a long time 😳
In the "making of"extras of the first Transformers movie I could see a few of these expensive TVs.. That was the area where analog tv tech was still out there..
What did the last D24 sell for? I imagine they'll both be $10,000 monitors one day, not because of retrogaming, but because a few editing houses still use them.
Good point. D24s sell for about $4000 to $5000 for a good working one.
@@RetroTechUSA There was a D24 here in Australia last week advertised on our version of craigslist that was dropping the price and the last one I saw was $2400
@@RetroTechUSA Oh no, damn I let my D24 go for $3000 and it had 7000hrs. Now im selling my other d24e1wu and a20f1u's with bkm-68x's with a 1k~ hours I feel like local pickup is a must
Zack Petrovic yes but it had 85,000 hours on it and with that I imagine issues
@@RetroTechUSA Hello Steve! Hey, can you travel to central California, or do you just have monitors brought to your shop for service? I am not even sure where you are located:) I just purchased a BVM A24, and had to justify that $5000.00 to my wife. It went much better than expected. She said, "fine....but there is a $350.00 bird cage that I want", so I said....FINE! I got away with spending 5 thousand, and she gets her bird cage. I already have a PVM 2530, and this is the monitor that I think may need a recap. I have recently ordered the 240 test suite for Sega Genesis, and SNES. The picture seems like it needs calibrating, but on one side.....as the black screen gets towards the top......I notice a couple of bulges on the edge. I don't see any adjustment in all your videos that address this issue. But again, I am waiting for the test suite, so I can (carefully) remove the back cover and play with the potentiometers. I am glad delivery methods are backed up online right now waiting for my test suite. This gives me plenty of time to familiarize myself with all your calibration videos over and over again. Heck, I am even memorizing what each H. and V. potentiometer actually does, along with pin cushion and pin phase. Thanks for your response to this message sir, if you would be so kind as to give me one:):):)
How many hours can a pvm tube live , and how can we know that ?
Honestly surprised it didn't go for more. The last one I saw on eBay went for $6500. Considering what D24's go for, which are common compared to these, the price shouldn't surprise anyone.
Can You helpme. I have a pvm that looks white and rainbow. fell once.
will have fix?

I saw larger bvm's. It was 4?" Saw some big ones on eBay a few years ago. It could do 1080i HD and 15khz 240p easily. Forgot the details of it.
Could we know how many hours on a pvm (opertion time or crt time) ?
Not really. Only BVMs and maybe some other Broadcast monitors have hour counters. No PVMs have hour counters in them.
Just when I looked at the reddit spec list and some going rates... a BVM-D32 sells. Wtf.
Super jelly
Interesting how it's still less than a third of its original price. Wonder what working ones will cost 20 years from now. Perhaps returning to the original MRSP and beyond
And I thought my 2030 was heavy!
It’s the economics of supply and demand (a bit like with property prices). There are very few D32’s around, and not a huge amount were made in the first place. Now they have a niche following and regarded as the pinnacle of CRT monitors. I let one go for £600 in 2016, but I no longer had the space for it. I’m certainly not in a hurry to lift one again though !
I'm hard-pressed to believe that the difference in quality matches the HUGE difference in price...
Aren't there PVMs and BVMs in the 500-to-1000 dollars realm that are just as good, but smaller?
I'm aware this particular model accepts all signals, but are the sharpness; color accuracy and black levels better than ANY other out there, or is it mainly due to rarity?
I wonder how much this would sell for today. With 20M2 medical units selling for $1500, maybe $12k? I mean I'm not necessarily surprised, videophiles will pay $20k or more easily on a projector for their home theater.
I have an opportunity to buy a "new" Ikegami HTM1990R for 500 euros. Any thoughts?
I really hope you bit the bullet and bought that monitor. Its absurdly good and very valuable today. One of the best pictures out there.
Should have put 7001 last second just for kicks :)
Oh damn I live in salt lake. Maybe I can message him and see if he has anything else
P.S. your dog is absolutely adorable
7000 in my country its bvm 20f1u
Didnt they technically make better CRTs that were all digital? I recall an F series that could handle 1080p
Well , technically maybe , and you're talking about the BVM F24. I have it. The D32 is still a sight to behold though.
@@CRT-PHOENIX niiice. I’m sure it is. I have a D24 and 20L5 and I’ve been looking for someone to trade them to for a D32.
Some day T.T
The sony e400 crt that maxes out at 1440×1800. The g400 can go higher.
Almost 100kg.. holy cow.. The 24 inch version is half the weight.. Propably the smarter purchase..
Sony micro fine pich . Pro monitor 90's
😵
I have one of these. It's starting to die unfortunately. Bought it for $3,500 about 8 years ago. It's gotten it's use. I'm a colorist in Hollywood. I'm only at 12,000hrs. Thought I'd get a lot more out of it... Oh well.
Just waiting for rhe D20 to hit 4 grand and I’ll let mine go lol.
Laughs in KV25th. Rare? Ha.
This is a testament to just how inferior modern display tech has become
ShitGodDamn...
Way too much
